Transcript

[Music] if your workout's causing pain and you're just pushing through it stop it let me show you something there's nothing wrong with a bit of soreness or discomfort but feeling pain in the muscle you're trying to work should tell you something's not right here's what i do take a second and go through the range of motion without resistance if it's painful train a different muscle group or just take a rest day but if it's just discomfort or soreness then before calling it quits try lessening the load with an easier variation because it could just be bad form or a poor warm-up
